dude, putting the laptop closer to the 360 does entirely nothing. TC, you will need the 100 wireless piece, I brought mine for 50 bucks used at gamestop and there's a few going for the same price on ebay.

you dont have to have the wireless piece, but you do need an ethernet cable. if you want to know i can tell how to set up live by hooking up your ethernet cable through your laptop

Ya, you need the wireless adapter. I only know of the official one from Microsoft which runs for 100 bucks new. As Sk8teOrDi3 said, putting the laptop closer does nothing. As long as the Xbox 360 is in range of the wireless router/modem or whatever you use, it should work.

okay connect the 360 to your laptop. now go on start and select "my network places". on the network tasks tap on the left select "view network connections". on the wireless network connection icon left click and select properties. go on the advanced tap and on the internet connection sharing check mark both items. then turn on the 360 and access live

Or you can buy the linksys wireless adapter like I have. It works great. Plus it comes with an ethernet cable.

this works just to let the others know

no need to buy a 100 dollar piece of equipment if you have a laptop with wifi already just plug the 360 into the laptop and use it as your wireless adaptor

Ok, I went into the Properties section after right clicking my wireless network. When I go to the Advanced tab, there is not an option to check 2 boxes. On the other hand, when I go into my LAN line Properties, then click on Advanced, I do see the 2 checked boxes but still does nothing for my XBOX Live test, it says Failed for my IP Address. NEED OF HELP FAST!
